Hi all, recently purchased this machine to work my property. I am having a hard time finding out much info on a 575d.. All kinds of info on 555 it seams like. What is the hp on this machine & weight?? Most importantly there are 2 oil fill ports on the floor in the cab, rear is low, is this 134 hydraulic fluid? Any info on this would be great. Thanks!

    Yeah 134 or equivalent is what you have to use in the rear axle because of the wet brakes. They chatter and groan without it. Rear filler is the axle and front is the tranny. Get a manual. If you've never owned a hoe before, you absolutely need the manual. Even the copies on Ebay are OK; official Ford like I got is better but mucho expensive. It's a brand new world of things you don't know squat about that you're entering!!! Lots of potential for expensive mistakes when you don't know what you don't know, if that makes sense. The 134 clone oil seems to work for most of us Ford owners at half the price of 134.
